How to Root the Oppo Find Mirror

Maybe you don’t find your Oppo Find Mirror to be too exciting anymore? Maybe you want to do something with it that you haven’t done before? Either way, rooting should help you. By rooting your Oppo Find Mirror, you’re unlocking a number of ways to customize your device. And the procedure below is all about how you can gain root on your Find Mirror and get the best out of it.

Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on your Android device.  Once we root our Android device, we can then make changes to it to customize it well beyond what it normally can do.

Once you have root access on your Oppo Find Mirror, you’ll be able to:

• Remove apps that were preinstalled by your carrier/manufacturer from your device.
• Free up storage space (because of the above benefit).
• Increase battery life (apps that might have been running constantly can be removed).
• Increase performance (after removing apps that are always running, the device will be less bogged down and run smoother).
• Update to a new version of Android (by flashing a custom recovery/ROM, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).
• Tons of other customizations when you use your new found administrative rights to flash a custom ROM (again, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).

I. Before You Begin

1. This will void the warranty of your device. We won’t be held responsible if you end-up bricking or damaging your device. Do it at your own risk.

3. This only works for the R819 model.

3. This should flash a custom recovery as well.

II. Downloading Required Files

1. Download Framaroot APK and save it to your desktop.
